[Avodah] Snake or Dragon?

[RallisW at aol.com]

When in Shemos (7:8-13) Moshe and Aharon appear before Paroah and Aharon 
throws down his staff and it turns into a "Sanin" not "Nochosh." Could the term 
sanin refer to a dragon rather than the traditional snake?
The word sanin also appears in Bereshis (1:21), "taninim hagedolim.." usually 
translated as great sea giants.
